We need to discuss a plan for community development for the report.
Here are my thoughts. I did not think this trough in great detail. It's pretty much Brainstorming. It would be really good if we could get some more user interaction going. As I see it there are several users of Clerezza but the only community we hear from regularly is the Stanbol community. This leads to a situation where I have a bad overview of who our users are and what they want improved. Am I just expecting too much? Does somebody know how such interaction can be encouraged? Another approach we could try is to get involved in something like GSoC or get students to work with/on Clerezza as part of their studies projects. We do have some connections to the University of Zurich and other institutions. Third, maybe we could 'hook' some researchers on Clerezza, or at least the Clerezza API. From my experience at the University of Zurich, Jena is the de-facto standard and many researchers don't even know that Clerezza exist. However to get them to use Clerezza we probably need to offer them some benefits. That probably means to invest quite some work into integrating some functionality they want but that Jena is not offering. What do you think? Any totally different approachers?

I don't think that has happened - the board meeting is in two weeks, so IMO there's still a bit of time for this to happen, even if you submit the report tomorrow. -Bertrand
